An assessment of disability and quality of life in people with spinal cord injury upon discharge from a Bangladesh rehabilitation unit.

By the end of their rehabilitation people with SCI had a relatively positive perception of level of disability and QOL. However, the results of other research has found that post-discharge their disability level increase and QOL decrease across all domains. Hence, it is recommended that more monitoring of level of disability and QOL is conducted post-discharge, along with a greater focus on community-based rehabilitation strategies and procedures to contribute to long-term reduction in level of disability and improved QOL.
